You can also use a MOSFET output optocoupler in a 6-pin DIP. Here are some
from NEC:
http://www.necel.com/opto/en/ocmos.html

But you probably need a JFET for bidirectional analog switching. Try an
H11F1M:

And for higher voltage (400V) try:

Try Vishay J201/SST201 or Fairchild J201/MMBF201

I've used bidirectional mosfet SSRs as analog switches and they work
fine. They are available in dip and surface mount.

NEC PS7141-1A is one we use like this. It will switch 400 volts!
Offset voltages on these things is zero.

You really should try to overcome that limitation. If you shun SOT23
devices you are going to be missing out on a world of new and wonderful
devices. BF862 and such.

Looking at the datasheet, I think this device will work nicely in my
application.
